I've had a desktop system comprised of a generic PC running iTunes or Windows Media Player through an EMU-1212 into a Bottlehead SEX Amp. I mostly used it to drive Sennheiser HD600 headphones, and that was a great setup. I also used it to drive some DIY TQWT cabinets with Radio Shack 40-1354 drivers (at one time, a 'find' in the single-driver world). That was also nice.

I've heard, at the Blumenstein showroom here in Seattle, the Blumenstein Orca's or Orca mini's and matching sub, driven by a Bottlehead SEX Amp (the Orca's - not the sub is self-powered). Source was, iirc, PC audio through a Wavelength Audio DAC. That was truly awesome - a quantum leap above the TQWT's and as far as I'm concerned, I'll look no further for a desktop setup. (I'd do the Orca minis and the matching Dungeness sub).
